The Reviews

The Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Starter Kit is getting great reviews from customers online. When researching this product we found over 1000 reviews and it received an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.

A number of reviews came from people with off grid cabins. One customer said that he used this solar panel set up with two interstate golf cart batteries and a 400 watt converter. He’s able to run LED lighting, charge his laptop and watch television and the batteries haven’t even been drained very low while doing all of that. He said that this setup provides a good amount of power even on cloudy days, but he is planning on getting one more panel to make sure there’s plenty of power throughout the winter.

There were also a lot of reviews from outdoorsman; people using this set up on their boats or RVs. One customer in particular said that he works as an RV technician and a good solar panel is the first thing he likes to add to his personal RVs. He said that he uses just one battery in his RV at night and this solar panel is able to have the battery fully recharged by 2 PM the next day. He said that the Renogy Solar Starter Kit is a great kit that everyone should have installed in their RV.

The Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Starter Kit is getting a lot of great reviews, but there is one negative point that came up a number of times. A lot of people are recommending that you buy a different charge controller to go with this kit. The charge controller will charge the battery but customers are saying that the wires don’t connect to the charge controller very easily. People are also saying that the DC outlet feed doesn’t work reliably. There is also an indicator that will display whether the battery is dead, charging, or full, but the indicator could be a lot better.

After thoroughly researching hundreds of reviews for the Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Starter Kit we would certainly give this set up our recommendation. Of course we wouldn’t ignore the people who suggest buying a separate charge controller, but even people who had concerns about the charge controller say that all of the other components are great and they are still very happy with this kit overall.
